Prospective Instructors | How to Propose a Course
- Read the proposal guidelines. Find out what the student-run Board of Education Programming (BOEP) is seeking in a Collins seminar course.
- Schedule a consultation. Write out a basic outline of your course idea and research some readings and activities, then we recommend you arrange for a consultation with a member of BOEP. See the main page to request a consultation.
- Design a syllabus. Attach a detailed weekly syllabus to the proposal form. It should indicate the purposes/objectives for the course; assignments to be competed, evaluation criteria, and grade weightings; a weekly outline of topics to be covered, including readings and other assignments; due dates for assignments, examinations, special events, and so on.
- Complete a proposal form: Download the appropriate form: Seminar Course Proposal Form. Read through the instructions and then answer all of the questions listed.
- Vita and references: Submit a current curriculum vitae and two letters of reference, if you are not a tenure-track faculty member at Indiana University.
